QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the CEO to give a report on improvements planned for Esker Cemetery including the columbarium, the angels plot and any maintenance of gates etc.

REPLY:

A tender competition has been advertised for Cemetery Upgrade Works in South Dublin County Council. It is intended that the first job awarded under this tender competition will be for the Columbarium Wall at Esker Cemetery.  The tender closing date has passed and it is currently at tender assessment stage. It is hoped that this stage will be competed and proceed to tender award stage in the coming weeks.

A new fence and gate was fitted to the Angel plot in 2023.  There are no further plans proposed for this area.

The gates and railings at the cemetery entrances on Lucan-Newlands Road have been replaced in recent years.  In August 2024 the car park entrance gates and pillars were painted.

There are no other plans proposed for the cemetery at present.
